should be about 80 lbs. to every 100
feet of cold frame. As to the length
of cold frame to the acre, a question
often asked, depends upon how far
apart the plants are set in the cold
frame. If set very early in the season
they will require more space than
later. Under these circumstances six
by six inches apart would not be too
much. 1t is then easy enough to
make the calculation of cold frame
needed to the acre. There are usually
set in open field about $500 plants.

length of cold frame should be in

Our estimate is on the distance of six

3 by feet apart in open field. The

of Z or 8 domestic, with two widths
sewed together and turned, then, as
the ladies term it, felled. This dOub-
ling of the edges of cloth is necessary
in order to prevent leaking where

The cold frame cloth is fastened to back
edge of cold frame by simply tackingto
top part of plank and secured to front
plank, when closed, as the taste may
direct, some with rings and some with
strips of cloth, sewed to covering and
then pulled over nails on front side OF
front plank.
Now as to management of plants in
cold frame. As to temperature, it is
well to be supplied with double
covering in cases of severe changes OF
weather. This double covering, may
be of hay, straw, or something else OF
equal value. The temperature, when
it begins to sink below 10 degrees, is
not safe for the plants unless double
covering is used.

THE CURSE OF ROME.

Like spent ball the once terrible
Course of Rome" reaches our.hOspit-
able shores. 1t had u long way to
travel, and the man it is aimed ut
has no superstitlous dread of the de-
cree. Corrigan, it seems, is to rattle
the bean bag, and expects American
citizens to dance to it's tune. But
we are tOlcrably certain that the only
citizens who will take much notice
of the "cuss" will be the politicians
and ecclcsiastlcs who are afraid of
the arguments of the Sagarf aruin
and his true and tried friends of the
Labor Party And it is for political
reasons that they value the decree,
not for any religious consideration.
The ecclcsiastics and politicians are
probably as free from superstition as
is Edward McGlynn, but they affect
great respect and veneratlon for the
forms and ceremonies of the church
in order to more effectively insure
the obedience of the poor dupes who
permit themselves to be exploited in
this world in the hope of enjoying
all the delicacies of the season in the
next.
We hardly believe the papal decree
will have the effect intended. The
people have become to large extent
too intelligent and too well informed
as to their condition to permit a
Course from over the sea to disturb
them in their onward march to free
dom. They propose to have all the
heaven they can upon earth, and in
the making of il no foreign boycott
will be allowed to interfere. As for
Citizen Edward McGlynn, the Peo-
pie will not desert him, and he will

COMPETITION vs.. ORDER.


Competition makes our whole produc-
duction pldHleSs, anarchic ltmakes our
producers each produce for himself, sell
for himself, all in secrecy, though their
success and failure depend exactly upon
how much their rivals produce and sell
This is the proXimate cause of our crises
those social pestilences that produce
more misery than did the plaques of the
Middle Ages.
The wage-system and competitor have
thus in our days become more harmful
than useful; they, together, are now m
dermining the Established Order, So
called, and will, inevitably, before long,
unless forestalled, lead to a catastrophe
and a crash.
Unless forestaIled Can it be fore
stalled! Yes, it can. Evolution, indeed,
is pointing out to us the outlines of the
New Social Order.
We can see all around lis a constantly
| growing concentration of production and
distribution, which is more and more
absorbing the efforts of isolated individ-
uals; i'll fact, making all efforts of isolated
individuals impossible. On the other
hand, we find in the nations that are
politically most developed. in the United
States and Great Britain-yes, Great
Britain, the country of Herbert Spencer
and the home of the "let alone" doctrine
"a constantly growing Capitalization of
the Collective viii, which is more and
more curtailmg and contracting the pro-
prietary sphere of individuals

WHAT OTHERS SAY.
THE FOURTH"

Monday is American Indcpcnd-
ence Day. And all over these States
its celebration is a mockcry. Fire
crackers and an Anticipated parade
are but the dead bodies of an extinct
patriotism; the spirit has fled from
the great mass of the people.
The better classes secretly believe
that democratic institutions are a
failure, and they long for crown and
crozcr. The lower classes are sunk
in a brutal apathy and hunger but
for bread.
Unless the soul of American lib.
erty, unless the spirit of '7G fingers
in the Labor Party and the Socialist
ranks it is to-day extinct. For We
are the only ones who know what
true Americanism is and what meas.
ures should be taken to again secure
Liberty to the people. -Denrer Labo,

THE CONDEMNED ANARCHISTS.
The Chicago Anarchists were con-
demned to death through bench
made laws, and that of a kind which
would furnish ample "legal" warrant
for convicting and hanging anybody
who ever wrote or said anything on
any matter of great public interest.
The workingmen of the country,
through the action of the General
Assembly of the Knights of Labor at
Richmond, through Central Labor
Unions, through assemblies, etc. =,
having supplied the Illinois judiciary

the emergency, the court have, it is
said, decided to give the condemned
men q new trial.

Square, on account of which these
men were condemned, nor what WIS

TIL Il FACTS,

The facts are that DR.. McGlynn
has never yet been politely invited to
a conference either by propaganda or
pope.
He was first suspended, then or
dercd to come to Rome and retract
his opinions on the land question,
and finally he has, it seems, been
ordered to Rome under penalty of
communication by name if he shall
not appear within forty days, that
are now nearly up.
DIR. McGlynn's reasons for not
going to Rome have been already
given. He cannot retract what he
knows to be truth, and he will not
admit the right of bishop, propagan-
da or pope to order him to Rome to
answer for the acts or opinions Of an
American citizen. Henry George.

rected against the Labor Party. The
very servants of the people" are
obcdicnt to the slightest wish of
King Capital, even to the extent of
interfering with the constitutional
rights of such of us who have the
temerity to crticlsc and condemn
the injustice Of the present "order."
And yet, their attacks are 50 faint
hearted and 50 irregular that even
the Indifferent can see they have no
consciousness of right to nerve them
and sustain them.
The Labor Party, the democratic
party Of the people, is growing apace
amid all the discouragemcnts and
opposition, simply on the strength
of its principles. 1t cannot, as yet,
boast of even fair organization in
most States. The New York State
convention to be held in Syracuse
next month will show the advance
made in that State, and the Party in
other States are awaiting develop
ments in New York with eagerness
and hope. Should the convention
there take II firm and advanced stand
against the present system of politi-
cal spoils and evolve plan that has
for its object not only change in
the personnel of the administration,
but change in the system, there
will be inauguratcd movement that
will be felt in the presidential cleo
ton, now enormously regarded as
most important.
That the Labor Party will nomi-
nate a presidential candidate may be
considered as certain, if only as a
means of widespread agitation OF
Labor principles, and as a mans to
consolidate the many divisions of the
labor army into working, co-opera
tive body, having the same object in
view, and pursuing uniform tactics
in the accomplishment of it's mission.
There is every reason for hopeful
eXertion among the working people,
and they cannot do better, nor ac-
cOmplsh more with less eyertion
than to take active part in the grand
political movement, beginning will
their own neighborhood and voting
district, where, after all, the effort
of individuals are more valuable ant
telling than in any other sphere.
Begin the political movement Il
home, do your york faithfully there
and the State and Nation will tax
care of themselves.

Archbishop of New York to cx-com-
municate DIR. McGlynn. 1t is sig
nificant fact. Liberty in the west
crn hemisphere is met by Autocracy
OF the worst possible form in the
eastern hemisphere and while we
vaunt our independence of political
character, the voice of Rome de-
clares that an American citizen must
not speak or vote as his conscience
dictates. He is, if a Catholic, to take
his politics with his religion from
the ecclesiastical machine, and the
principle of the Know Nothings,
that n Catholic cannot be II free
American citizen is officially de-
clared to be correct by the highest
authority in the Roman church.
y So far the capitalist
press has given strong support to the
outrageous claim of Rome to have
right to control the political action
of citizens who accept religious
teachings from the head of Catholl-
cism in that city. That press, for
the basest of party ends, has CON
sented to the degradation of our cltl-
zenship, and though controlled by
the most virulent enemies of the
Catholic Church, has asserted the
right of the ecclesiastical machine to
enslave mems conscicnces in matters
purely political. 1t was an ignoble
position for them to take. 1t was
foreign to the spirit Of our lnstitu-
tions and the very letter of our laws.
1t was a direct blow to the principle
on which the Constitution rests.
But it suited the eyigences of the
Doodle politicians, and the dishonor
of our flag was but secondary con-
sideration. But will the people sub
nit? viii they bow down in abject
submission and permit reactionary
clique of Italians to obtain on this
soil the control it has lost elsewhere
We trow not. The lightning of
Rome may be launched at DR.. Nc
Glvnn and he be sent forth from the
Church of which he is such a distin-
guished member. But the blow will
react on those whose pride of power
has blinded their Judgment, and
with tenfold strength the principle
OF American citizenship will emerge
from this struggle triumphant and
unscathed.
SO far as the Catholics who belong
to the United Labor Party are con
cerned we have no fears for them.
They have shown such devotion,
such heroism, such fidelity in this
contest, that we know they will con-
tinue to be as ardent, as sincere, as
determined rs before. Here and
there ak-kneed man may faltel
on the march, sigh for the tlesh-pots
of Egypt, prefer the mental hunger
of slavery to the mama of intellectual
liberty, and 60 back to his former
gods. But such a man will be with
ont honor or influence and where he
goes will be . matter of small con
Germ. We know whereof we speak
and we know the men of the Cath
Ollie faith in our ranks who hav,
stood by DIR. McGlynn since first thu
fight for the rights of citizenship
was forced on him. Where the,
stood few days ago they will stanc
to the bitter end and the boil
launched from Rome will neve
break the solid front of their deter
mlnatlon to yield no political allegl
ance to any foreign power, prince Of
potentate. ". !. Lemlpr.

THE LABOR PARTY.

Notwithstanding the heat OIL sum
mer and ne long time between cleo
tons the Labor Party is continually
accommodating strength and vlgor
through agitation. The differences
of opinion existing within the new
party are the prime factors in push
ing the agitation outside it's ranks,
Questions OF principle as well as of
policy are being discussed by the
enemies of Labor, as we'll as by the
laborers who never affiliated with
labor organizations themselves.
This agitation will undoubtedly bear
good fruit by the time another cleo
ton comes around. Principles are
coming to the foreground while men
are being eclipsed.
We expect, of course, that the old,
corrupt political parties will Guido
themselves in their cndeavors to ere
ate a racing fever on the chances
OF the election of their tool candi.
dates, and we expect, too, that many
worklngman will forget the more
important and vital questions in
volved in an election in the whirl
and swirl of a political race between
the two "prominent' candidates of
~ capitalism democratic" nom
inec and the ''rcpublican" nominee.
But we also confidently expect that
the Labor Party will have made "A glo-
rious record of progress before the end
ofanothcr year, not only in numbers,
but also in the broader intelligence
and better organization of the party.

contribute to the general fund of in.
formation by their labors, and the
local organizations will distribute

On the other hand, we must not
underestimate the powers that are
constantly at work to destroy the in
fluence of the labor agitation.
Among these are the capitalist news,
papers which practically control the
dissemination of information on
passing events throughout the civil
lied world. These professional
garblers and liars are continually
spreading before the people in pleas
ing style, the doings of prominent
individuals who are the leaders OF
capitalistic "enterprise" on the ont
hard, and dispensers Of charity
on the other, thus clothing with Q
halo of righteousness and importanc,
the cunning acts of oppression of oul
"rulers." To counteract this con
tinual stream of sophism, the Labor
